14.25 A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity ω , in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance x0 and pushed towards the centre with a velocity v0 at time t = 0. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters ω,x0 and v0 .

[Hint : Start with the equation x = a cos ( ω t + θ ) and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

The displacement equation for an oscillating mass is given by : x = Acos ( ωt+θ) , where

A = the amplitude

x = the displacement

θ=phaseconstant

Velocity, V = dxdt = -A ωsin?(ω t + θ)

At t = 0, x = x0 , x0=Acos?θ = x0 ….(i)

And dxdt = -v0 = A ωsin?θ …….(ii)

Squaring and adding, we get

A2cos2θ+sin2θ=x02+(v02ω2) , A = x02+(v0ω)2
